Excellent stuff Mark! Where did the mystery component come from? Got a couple of ideas what it may be but difficult to be sure just from that view and not knowing whereabouts it lives.
Thanks Dave!

It lives near the throttle valve. More to the dashboard.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Since a while i noticed that the coolant level dropt slowely in the expansion tank. I wanted to find out what is what.

Re: Manalishis 820 Vitesse Coupe

You hear this more often nowadays. Quality of batteries is going down.
Good luck with the oil change!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Because we moved a long distance, some things changed. That is not a bad thing but you just have to adjust a bit. In the past i did the oil service at a friends place. Now at home on the drive. :) I did buy some ramps so working is more easy and safe. Just for laughs, installed the fender protectors...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

Took my Rover SD1 to a US car meet. I know the Rover is British but they also allowed other classics. And my Rover has a GM V8 under the bonnet so must be oke. :) https://i.postimg.cc/P5FQt0gw/1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/bYQgQCt7/2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/76S3nhf3/3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rpBG4xFy...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Sorry for my late response! The forum seemed of the grid for a while. Thanks for the compliments! We are very happy with the results. Nice to keep the cars safe in there. And when the garage is empty one can not just resist letting your inner car loving mind go mad haha! What a lick of paint can do.

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

Thanks! We moved over to the other side of the (small) country to have this kind of house and space. Car port is great indeed!

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

After the work in the house, we brought over the SD1. https://i.postimg.cc/qqhtP9NF/5.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/qqPt4jnv/6.jpg During the moving we used the garage as storage for other items so the SD1 had to wait outside under the carport for the time being: https://i.postimg.cc/wxZRXTPY/7.jpg After...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Pfieuw. We are moved to the other side of the country. All is starting to find its place. When we moved out of the previous house we also had to return the garage box were my 827 Vitesse was stored: https://i.postimg.cc/t4fcy6vm/1.jpg Shortly after, we drove over to sign for the key and already move...
